Throwback Thursday: 2014 NFC Championship Game

The Seattle Seahawks will be spending this weekend watching the NFC Championship Game rather than playing in it, after they lost 36-20 to the Atlanta Falcons in last week’s Divisional Round.

The Seahawks are no strangers to the NFC championship, though, having played in it twice in the past five years, winning both times. The most memorable of those, however, came against the very Packers who will be squaring off against the Falcons on Sunday.

In honor of Sunday’s NFC championship, let’s take a look back at the crazy ending to the 2014 NFC Championship Game between the Packers and Seahawks.

Green Bay managed to hit a game-tying field goal to send the game into overtime. Seattle won the coin toss, marched down the field, and punched their ticket to Super Bowl XLIX, courtesy of Kearse’s incredible touchdown grab.
